A Vibrant Vodka Cocktail: The Spiced Berry Smash
By: Sheri Wetherell
Published: October 9, 2014

It doesn't have to be summer to enjoy a fruity cocktail. With vodka, a splash of ginger beer, citrus and mint, this cocktail almost reminds us of a Moscow Mule. The addition of green chartreuse, muddled strawberries (all you need are two) and club soda make this creation a Spiced Berry Smash. Like its Moscow Mule cousin, this drink is refreshing and festive!
